Open call for nostalgic artworks at Mexic-Arte Museum

Mexic-Arte Museum has an open call for artists for its group exhibition called Mix ‘n’ Mash. This year’s theme is Ecos del Pasado/Echos of the Past, and artists are invited to submit pieces reflecting on nostalgia. A diverse range of perspectives, techniques and creative expressions is welcome, and chosen pieces will be on display Jan. 31-March 16 at the museum, 419 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701. “Every artist is free to create a work of art in any style (including figurative, conceptual, abstract, surreal, popular, etc.) and media (painting, printmaking, photography, and more) that depicts the theme,” according to a news release from the museum, and completed submissions must be delivered by Jan. 22. Artists ages 18 and up may pick up one Gessobord during museum hours to create their work, and a credit card will be kept on file so that if a Gessobord is not returned, $25 will be charged. Artists can fill out the registration form attached to the back of each board and the online form – both types of forms must be completed to be compensated.
